I think your fabric choices are excellent and I can&#39;t wait to see the finished pieces!

I like the color of the skirt, but it definitely looks more on the red side of things than orange to me as well.<br /><br />Isn&#39;t it always the more expensive fabric that would work perfectly?! Do you want us to give you permission to go get that double crepe? I will if you want ;) <br /><br />Can&#39;t wait to see it finished, whatever fabric you choose :DMaggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18028414273977350224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-66671659038184368282010-02-10T06:46:34.414-05:002010-02-10T06:46:34.414-05:00I can&#39;t wait to see it when it is finished!!

The fabric choices are incredible too. I&#39;ve paid a good amount for fabric myself and I do always consider the ready to wear cost. I love expensive fabric, so sue me. I think the most important thing is that you&#39;re going to make something that will last a long time and that you will wear often and feel beautiful in.

If it weren&#39;t for that, I think I would already have taken a page from her style book. Is it just me or are all of the main female characters on that show shrill, manipulative, self-absorbed, pathetic or otherwise embodiments of yucky female stereotypes?
